Re: Not enough breath support for slow practicing

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

You practice slowly to cement the technique, so the 'other' stuff (like breathing spots or even the ultimate phrase points) does not take precedent.

Also, have your metronome at a reasonable speed: set it at 100 (each pulse will equal a 32nd.....OR two pulses per 16th. But you always want your metronome at least around there in a duple meter to get the "feel" of movement.

Keep in mind that you don't have to do the WHOLE piece this slowly, just the bits that present a technical challenge.
